Heh, if he hadn't so clearly demonstrated his ignorance in the last couple weeks I'd almost be willing to think elmo deliberately let the orange cunt back on the site just before it gets crushed by the world cup to fuck with him, but no, he's just a twat.

Out of interest, I opened up my long-unviewed @realDonaldTrump tab, and saw the latest tweets appear to be 8/Jan/2001, still, at least just prior to my saying this... Maybe I needed to refresh it, but as the last 'glance' before that had the Banned message...

Except that Twitter has also changed, in the last 22 months. It seems to have a time-delayed "splash across the page" to get me to log in (and create an account, if necessary, which it would be), so that I effectively can't just scroll through as an unregistered user. There's no close-the-popover hotspot obvious (could be white-on-white, but there didn't seem to be a hotspot in the usual corner-positions) and it effectively prevents my old practice of read-only twitter-binging (which probably wasn't healthy anyway), diving into things of interest.

Might be a Mobile Site peculiarity (until I force the browser to work in desktop-site mode) or one which I can neuter by other fancy browser functionality, but the banner suggesting I use the App (installed, but never used) was already there in its only slightly annnoying (and ignorable, not needing any particular fuss). And not sure if this splashover is Musk's deliberate doing, even, if he's already been firing anybody who might be competent enough to effectively accountwall the site as part of some further destructive and counterproductive strategy.

You can scroll. click log in and then close the window that pops up.

Probably best for my blood pressure (not particularly at risk, but that's before Twitter) to just take the hint and go and do something else differently unproductive... ;)

Kathy Griffin (comedian who did the severed Trump head pic) is also unbanned on Twitter alongside Trump

Is this about the twitter files incident?

I’m shocked, just shocked! I can’t believe he’d throw it all away to do PR for a billionaire /s

I'm not really sure where you're going with this. I don't see any new stories about Twitter.

AAAAAA-

My gosh... Alright.

The "situation" I am talking about is Elon acquiring Twitter and running it into the ground. The music I linked is called "Omg, What has he done?", which plays when the Portal 2 character Wheatley is destroying the facility due to being a moron.

Is it clear now? Do I need to get more verbose about what was once a simple joke?

Oh, that is already happening. I've moved on, and hope the US proposed ban on Government phones having TikTok is expanded to Twitter. I mean, Twitter gave us Trump, so it has to Go.

Why bother banning it, it's gonna be dead in a few months at this rate.

Speaking of TikTok, I didn't know that this was how it was: TikTok in China vs US https://imgur.com/gallery/zc7ty1a

I mean I presume 60 minutes is still a reliable source, they have a pretty good renommé I believe? I also have not watched the entire show on it, just this small clip.

I'm still not 100% sure what the hell TikTok is, as far as I can tell it's like a shitty youtube filled with narcissists.

Beating a dead horse is a tradition all over the world, always fun to hit dead things with a stick.
